Each of the substituents R, R'O and -CHO in a compound of formula (II) may be independently on either of the rings in naphthalene, quinoline, isoquinoline and indole, whilst in the case of tetrahydronaphthalene they are preferably on the same aromatic ring.
The condensation of a compound of formula (II) with a compound of formula (III) may be carried out according to known methods as herebelow described. For example it may be carried out under the conditions of the Knoevanagel reaction as described, by G. Jones in Organ c Reactions 15, 204(1967).
Suitable catalysts are organic bases such as pyridine, piperidine or diethylamine. The condensation may 1e performed in an inert organic solvent, pyridine, ethanol; methanol, benzene or dioxane at temperatures ranging from about 0 0 C to about 100 0 C. Preferably the reaction is carried out in hot ethanol solution in the presence of piperidine catalyst.
A compound of formula can be converted into another compound of formula according to known methods. For example the de-etherification of a compound of formula (I) wherein R'O is methoxy, so as to obtain a compound of WO 95/26341 PCT/EP95/00758 -12formula wherein R'O is hydroxy, can be carried out for example with boron tribromide as described by J.F.N. McOmie in Tetrahedron 24, 2289 (1968). The reaction may be performed in an inert organic solvent such as dichloromethane or benzene under an inert atmosphere (e.g.
nitrogen) at temperatures ranging from about -78 0 C to about room temperature.
The conversion of a compound of formula in which R or
R
2 is nitro into the corresponding compound of formula wherein R or R 2 is amino, may be carried out following known methods, for example with a variety of reducing agents, e.g. sodium sulfide in hydroalcoholic solution, metallic iron with ammonium chloride in aqueous solvent, or for instance, catalytic hydrogenation using e.g. palladium charcoal catalyst at low hydrogen pressure in an inert organic solvent.
The alkylation of a compound of formula wherein R'O or
R
2 is hydroxy, so as to obtain the corresponding compound of formula wherein R'O or R 2 is C 1

The optional salification of a compound of formula as well as the conversion of a salt into a free compound, and the separation of a mixture of isomers into the single isomers may be carried out by conventional methods. For example the separation of a mixture of geometric isomers, cis- and trans-isomers, may be carried out by fractional crystallization from a suitable solvent or by chromatography, either column chromatography or HPLC.
The compounds of formula (II) may be obtained according to known methods from compounds of formula (IV)

For example when compound (IV) contains phenolic groups, i.e. R'O is hydroxy, the well known Reimer-Tiemann method can be applied. Thus the phenolic compound is treated with chloroform and alkali hydroxides in an aqueous or hydroalcoholic solution. Another useful method for the synthesis of aromatic or phenolic aldehydes has been WO 95/26341 PCTIEP95/00758 -14described by H. Gross et al. in Chem. Ber. 96, 308 (1963).

C.
3-Formylindole derivatives of formula (II) can be obtained for example from compounds of formula (IV) by formylation with N-methylformanilide and phosphorus oxychloride according to the well known Vilsmeyer-Haack method [for a review see W.G. Jackson et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 103, 533 (1981)].

PHARMACOLOGY
The compounds of the invention possess specific tyrosine kinase inhibiting activity. It is believed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be of great importance in the control of uncontrolled cellular reproduction, i.e. in cellular reproduction disorders. Hence the compounds according to the present invention can be useful in the treatment of pathological proliferation disorders in mammals, including humans. They can be useful e.g. in the treatment of benign and malign tumors. They are able to cause tumor regression and to prevent tumor metastasis and the growth of micrometastasis.
Moreover they can also be useful for the treatment of leukemia and psoriasis. They have also utility in the control of immune system diseases (immunosuppressants), angiogenesis and atherosclerosis (atheromatous plaque) as far as protein kinases are involved in these diseases.
Recent studies on the molecular basis of neoplastic transformation have identified a family of genes, designed oncogenes, whose aberrant expression causes tumorigenesis.
For example, the RNA tumor viruses possess such an oncogene sequence whose expression determines neoplastic conversion of infected cells. Several of their oncogene-encoded proteins, such as pp60 v Os, p70ga 9 -ye, p 1 3 0 ag-s and display protein tyrosine kinase activity, that is they catalyze the transfer of the 7-phosphate from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to tyrosine residues in protein substrate. In normal cells, several growth factor WO 95/26341 PCT/EP95/00758 -17receptors, for example the receptors for PDGF, EGF, a-TGF and insulin, display tyrosine kinase activity.
Binding of the growth factor (GF) activates the receptor tyrosine kinase to undergo autophosphorylation and to phosphorylate closely adjacent molecules on tyrosine.
Therefore, it is thought that the phosphorylation of these tyrosine kinase receptors plays an important role in signal transduction and that the principal function of tyrosine kinase activity in normal cells is to regulate cell growth.
Perturbation of this activity by oncogenic tyrosine kinases that are either overproduced and/or display altered substrate specificity may cause loss of growth control and/or neoplastic transformation. Accordingly, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinases can be useful in investigating the mechanism of carcinogenesis, cell proliferation and differentiation and it can be effective in prevention and chemotherapy of cancer and other pathological proliferative conditions.
In particular the compounds of the invention can be used in the treatment of cancers, metastasis, leukemia, psoriasis, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis (atheromatous plaque) and immune system diseases as far as protein kinases are involved in these diseases.
The tyrosine specific protein kinase activity of the compounds of the invention is shown, by the fact that they are active in the in-vitro and in-vivo test described herebelow.
WO 95/26341 PCT/EP95/00758 -18- In-vitro Assay v-abl Kinase Purification The enzyme used in our test was the p45 v-abl tyrosine kinase which represents the catalytic domain of the Abelson tyrosine kinase (isolated from the Abelson murine leukemia virus). The p45 v-abl kinase was produced and isolated as described by Wang et al. in J. Biol. Chem. 260, 64 (1985) and by Ferguson et al. in J. Biol. Chem. 260, 3652 (1985) and in Biochem. J. 257, 321 (1989).
p45 v-abl Kinase Assay (Val 5 )-Angiotensin II phosphorylation was performed by incubation with 40 ng of purified abl-kinase and (y 32
P)-ATP,
in 50 pl of buffer containing Tris-HCl 25 mM, pH 8.0, MgCl 2 mM and dithiothreitol 0.1 mM (kinase buffer). The reaction mixture was incubated for the indicated time at 0 C and the reaction stopped by adding 50 il of trichloroacetic acid. After a brief incubation on ice, tubes were centrifuged. The supernatants were spotted on phosphocellulose paper squares (Whatman P-81) and washed extensively in acetic acid. The radioactivity bound to dried phosphocellulose squares was measured in a liquid scintillation counter. ICso values were calculated from triplicate determinations of each experimental point. Each inhibitor was tested at concentrations ranging from 0 to 400 ug in the presence of fixed concentrations of peptide (2 mM) and ATP (50 IM).
WO 95/26341 PCTIEP95/00758 -19- In-vivo Assay K562 Cell Growth Inhibition Assay K562 cells, a human myelogenous leukemia cell line, were seeded into a 24 wells tissue culture plate (Falcon 3047) (10000/well) in the presence of increasing concentrations of the compounds. After 72 h, cells were harvested and were counted using a cell counter (Coulter Counter ZM).
The percent of inhibition was evaluated in respect to the untreated control cells.
The inhibitory activity data for a representative compound according to the present invention, obtained both in the in-vitro p45 v-abl kinase assay and in the in-vivo human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cell growth inhibition assay described above, are set out in Table 1.
